Warts and Molluscum
Warts and molluscum are very common and characterised by bumps on the skin.
Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can appear on various parts of the body.
SOLUTIONS MAY INCLUDE:
Over-the-counter treatments: Non-prescription treatments like salicylic acid/lactic acid solution or gels can help remove warts. These work by gradually peeling away the infected skin layers.
Cryotherapy: This involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen, which causes the wart to blister and eventually fall off. It often require multiple treatments.
Electrosurgery or curettage: In this procedure, the wart is surgically removed using an electrical current (electrosurgery) or by scraping it off (curettage).
Laser therapy: Laser treatment can be used to destroy the blood vessels that supply the wart, causing it to shrink and fall off.
Prescription medications: In certain cases, your healthcare provider may prescribe medications such as imiquimod or bleomycin to treat warts.
